Why oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gas?
Different molecules have different characteristic vibrational frequencies for their interatomic bonds. They absorb energy that matches that frequency. The vibrational frequencies for O2 and N2 bonds don't match the main wavelengths of the energy coming from the sun or radiating back out from the earth. Water (~98 of the greenhouse effect is from water vapor) and other greenhouse gases DO have vibrational frequencies that match that energy and thus readily absorb it.
How is heat energy transferred by earth atmosphere?
heat energy transferred by earths atmosphere by the sun
What energy sources drives the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
Energy from the Sun.
What source of energy drives the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
Energy from the Sun.
The fuel driving the atmosphere is?
solar energy
What is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere?
what is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere
What does the thermometer measure in the atmosphere?
It measures energy.
What is the formula for vibrational kinetic energy?
Vibrational kinetic energy is the energy due to vibrational motion :)
What is the measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere?
The measure of heat in a given place is called the temperature.
Calculate the first two vibrational energy levels a diatomic molecule?
The vibrational energy of a diatomic molecule can be approximated by extension of the quantum harmonic oscillator. The vibrational energy, Ev, is then Ev = (v + 1/2)hv0 where v is an integer representing vibrational quantum numbers such that v = 0,1,2,3,..., where v=0 for a diatomic molecule at the ground vibrational state; h is Planck's constant; and v0 is the fundamental vibrational frequency. For this problem then, you would need the fundamental vibrational frequency of the particular diatomic atom, and then simply calculate Ev for v=1, and v=2.
What is the effect of temperature on particles of matter?
Temperature is a measure of the micro-kinetic energy of matter, the vibrational energy of the atoms or molecules making up the matter. The more energetic the vibration the higher the temperature.
How does thermal energy get passed in a conductor?
by transferring vibrational energy to adjacent molecules.
Write the vibrational energy equation which contributes to the internal energy of a molecule?
Molecular vibrations are one of the ways in which a molecule stores chemical energy. For a diatomic molecule, the vibrational can be approximated by the quantum harmonic oscillator. The vibrational energy Ev is Ev = (v + 1/2)hv0 where v is an integer representing vibrational quantum numbers such that v = 0,1,2,3,..., where v=0 for a diatomic molecule at the ground vibrational state; h is Planck's constant; and v0 is the natural frequency of the harmonic oscillator.
What type of energy is transferred by vibrational wave?
energy is transmitted by different waves
What is a form of kinetic energy that occurs within a molecule when the bonds are stretched or bent a translational b rotational c vibrational d internal?
Vibrational.
What form of energy is in grass?
Grass contains carbon which was taken out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis using the Sun's energy. The grass can be burned to recover the energy as heat.
Measure of how much heat energy something contains?
It is measured in joules (J)
